What is meant by vital nature?

These are questions that anybody in the Asram could answer. This and questions such as “what is meant by faithfulness”. It is much better if you get these things explained to you by someone in Gujarati so that you can understand and be able to apply your own understanding whenever needed. If I have to answer philosophically, it would take ten pages for each question and you would understand nothing. Otherwise I have to answer offhand and such an answer also will be of no use to you. You can ask practical questions about your own experiences and I will try to answer.
